Id rather have Mr. Stoneham here than a gold mine, remarked the sheriff.
"This is no case of emergency, Miss Baxter," grumbled Stoneham.
He had his net now and was tiptoeing up to where the officer sat, close beside Stoneham.
A glance at the papers Miss Baxter brought to him showed Mr. Stoneham that he had at least got the worth of his fifty pounds.
He asked several more questions; but Mr. Stoneham could give him no information, except as to the bare fact of the marriage.
